Blanky in the Bathtub

Morning Routine

• Stockton wakes up and calls "Daddy! Daddy!", his universal term for both parents.

• He picks up his blanky and empty bottle (loves to carry them around), and we head to the tub to play and read books.  

• I make the same mistake every morning of setting his blanky in clear sight on the counter, while I undress him and put him in the tub.

• After he gets in the tub, he points to his blanky and cries because he wants to hold it.  

After weeks of this, I finally gave him his blanky to hold in the tub.  I thought he'd see how uncomfortable it was to cuddle with a wet blanky. 

 

My plan didn't work.  He loved the blanky in the tub, and cried when I wouldn't let him carry it around the house soaking wet.

Cute little baby.  This morning I am going to try and convince you to leave your blanky in your bed.
